FOOD TECHNOLOGY

Basically am food technologist and am currently doing my final year post graduate.. Actually I wanted to tell u something.. Do u know who is food technologist? .. U all strongly believe that the word food always relates to catering!! But if u understand in that way then please study from the first standard again for better language skill.. And one more, when u see the word technology does it say just a process of cooking?!! If so then again you are proving your weak language.. Catering is completely different from food technology.. Catering is the process of making foods..But the food technology is all about the mechanisms behind the process which answers why what how in a technical manner.. (For example the stability of the foam when egg is whipped is due to protein content..Whereas water foam is not stable because of no protein) then the equipments used and also the designing of equipments (mass transfer, heat transfer, thermodynamics) according to the capacity for large scale and small scale industry level..
Many say food technology as an interesting course because everyone knows it as they cook even at home.. But you are absolutely wrong.. As the theories can be applied in our everyday practical life, I say it as an interesting subject..
A mechanical engineer is called as mechanical engineer.. An electrical student is called as electrical engineer..Information technology student is called as software engineer.. Computer science student is a hardware engineer.. Marine engineering student is called as marine engineer.. But why not food engineering student as food engineer and food technology student as food technologist?! North India and other parts of world has some knowledge about the food technologists..but its importance is lacking in South..

Think!!! Foods for the future are preserved by us.. space foods are created by us.. ready-to-eat, ready-to-serve foods are been processed by us.. and many more can be listed here..food is the necessary part of our life more than anything.. so create awareness!! FOOD TECHNOLOGISTS AND FOOD ENGINEERS ARE ALSO ONE OF THE LEADING ENGINEERS AND TECHNOLOGISTS!!!
